The Old Fort reflects plantation house roots and allows one to enjoy island living to the fullest. Once a full working sugar plantation dating back to the Middle Ages, it has been constructed with cobblestones and wood beams in the classic French-Mediterranean mansion-house style. Set in large renovated estate buildings, which have been completely rebuilt using the same stone which was once part of the property, it forms the centre of an incredible estate which consists of six spacious and uniquely styled suites.

The Old Fort reflects plantation house roots and allows one to enjoy island living to the fullest. Once a full working sugar plantation dating back to the Middle Ages, it has been constructed with cobblestones and wood beams in the classic French-Mediterranean mansion-house style. Set in large renovated estate buildings, which have been completely rebuilt using the same stone which was once part of the property, it forms the centre of an incredible estate which consists of six spacious and uniquely styled suites.

The estate is perfect as a rental and for central entertaining with separate sleeping accommodations making it ideal for couples or families to be together whilst still enjoying enough privacy in their own space. It features a grand pool with an infinity edge waterfall, shallow kids area, natural pebbled grotto and several relaxation areas partly covered by two gazeboes for those that require shade.

Within the main building is a large banquet style kitchen with a magnificent inside dining room area that turns into a magical setting at night. It includes a lounge with fireplace and an inside wine bar. The kitchen draws on fresh local produce and is famous for its fantastic cuisine. There is also a round outside bar located just above the pool that offers sweeping 180 degree views overlooking the Grenadine Islands that stretch Southward into the distance.

The property consists of several comfortable sitting areas, terraces and balconies which are all surrounded by numerous acres of substantial gardens and species of international as well as local plants and trees. Mt. Pleasant estate which is over 28 acres leads one from the main plantation buildings all the way down to a cliff above the ocean making it ideal also for nature lovers who enjoy hikes and beautiful scenery.

The Old Fort has been recommended by numerous international publications over the years, boasting an exceptional venue that can also host any special events such as a wedding or retreat. It has been transformed into the kind of property you would never want to leave!

Overall this flat/apartment was excellent.
Very clean, modern, in a great location (for tube & parks). Rooms were of a good size, and the courtyard was great (and would have been used more had the weather been nicer!). There was a high chair available to...More

About the neighbourhood

Mt. Pleasant is one of the safest areas on the island and although it is extremely private, only a few minutes drive will take you to the best beaches and places with activity on the island. One could also take a beautiful hike through the estate to two unspoiled beaches which are only short distance away. The area also has what is arguably the best view on the island stretching 180 degrees over the Atlantic and Caribbean Sea, down the Grenadines to Grenada, another island country which one can see on a clear day. Fresh breezes rise up from the Atlantic below which helps keep the property free of mosquitos and cool throughout the day. Places such as these don't exist much anymore, quite simply we do not lock doors and windows at night.

Getting around

We offer a daily complimentary daily shuttle into town, or to the beach and back. We also have a one of a kind concierge service and can assist you in whichever way you require. Included within is vehicle hire, however there is also a very reliable taxi service which can be called anytime and is relatively reasonable. These services can all be arranged in advance or when you arrive.

How to get there

Airport: J. F. Mitchel Airport: 6.0 km

Ferry: Port Elizabeth: 2.5 km

St. Vincent has its own international airport called the Argyle International Airport with various international carriers offering weekly scheduled flights. Two other great 'gateways' are the Barbados and Trinidad International Airports, although there are also flights from Grenada, St. Lucia and Martinique. Both Barbados and Trinidad are very convenient to fly through if you can't get a direct flight to St. Vincent.

Once in Barbados you can then take one of the daily connecting flights directly to Bequia via Mustique Airways or SVG air. They have an exclusive service where an airline representative will meet and greet guests upon their international arrival and assist with this private service. Alternatively you can fly to St. Vincent via LIAT or Caribbean Airlines and then...
